==Quotes by Eddard== [[File:Collage lb image page7 5 1.jpg|thumb|Eddard with [[Ice]], by Mark Evans Β© Fantasy Flight Games]] {{Quote|'''Bran''': Can a man still be brave if heβs afraid?<br> '''Eddard''': That is the only time a man can be brave.{{Ref|AGOT|1}}|[[Bran Stark]] and Eddard}} {{Quote|The blood of the [[First Men]] still flows in the veins of the [[House Stark|Starks]], and we hold to the belief that the man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. If you would take a man's life, you owe it to him to look into his eyes and hear his final words. And if you cannot bear to do that, then perhaps the man does not deserve to die.{{Ref|AGOT|1}}|Eddard to [[Bran Stark]]}} {{Quote|A ruler who hides behind paid executioners soon forgets what death is.{{Ref|AGOT|1}}|Eddard to [[Bran Stark]]}} {{Quote|'''Eddard''': We are not the boys we were.<br> '''Robert''': You were never the boy you were.{{Ref|AGOT|12}}|[[Robert I Baratheon]] and Eddard}} {{Quote|When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone [[wolf]] dies, but the pack survives.{{Ref|AGOT|22}}|Eddard to [[Arya Stark]]}} {{Quote|Know the men who follow you and let them know you. Don't ask your men to die for a stranger.{{Ref|AGOT|22}}|Eddard to [[Robb Stark]]}} {{Quote|Some secrets are safer kept hidden. Some secrets are too dangerous to share, even with those you love and trust.{{Ref|AGOT|33}}|Eddard's thoughts}} {{Quote|Black and white and grey, all the shades of truth.{{Ref|AGOT|43}}|Eddard's thoughts}} {{Quote|"If it came to that, the life of some child I did not know, against [[Robb Stark|Robb]] and [[Sansa Stark|Sansa]] and [[Arya Stark|Arya]] and [[Bran Stark|Bran]] and [[Rickon Stark|Rickon]], what would I do? Even more so, what would [[Catelyn Stark|Catelyn]] do, if it were [[Jon Snow|Jon]]'s life, against the children of her body?" He did not know. He prayed he never would.{{Ref|AGOT|45}}|Eddard's thoughts}} {{Quote|'''Cersei''': You should have taken [[Seven Kingdoms|the realm]] for yourself. It was there for the taking. [[Jaime Lannister|Jaime]] told me how you found him on the [[Iron Throne]] the day [[Sack of King's Landing|King's Landing fell]], and made him yield it up. That was your moment. All you needed to do was climb those steps, and sit. Such a sad mistake.<br> '''Eddard''': I have made more mistakes than you can possibly imagine, but that was not one of them.{{Ref|AGOT|45}}|[[Cersei Lannister]] and Eddard}} {{Quote|In this world only winter is certain. We may lose our heads, it's true ... but what if we prevail?{{Ref|ADWD|9}}|Eddard to the [[House Borrell|Borrells]]}}
